Always nice to find something that is a first. Doesn't matter what. Always special.

Believe it or not, I have NEVER found a gold coin. Go figure! LOL

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Fantastic find and in such good condition, congratulations!

Nice crotal. Looks just like my best one from this past summer

 

[RelicMedic]

Now that I finally found one, they will probably just jump out of the ground and smack my coil That's usually the way it goes!

 

[BigWaveDave]

Nice, I found my first this year, too bad it was missing the ringer.

Congrats on the first of many.
Soon you will get that signal and hoping for a large copper and pull out the bell and say CRAP another one!!! Lol

 

[Marylanddetctr]

Took me awhile to find one also, neat find

 

[Erik in NJ]

They are not as common as some here would have you believe especially an older one like that and in that condition and unbroken. That type of bell is actually called a "petal bell" and often has a numeric size and sometimes a manufacturer on it. If you found one after only two years of detecting and don't live in parts of North America that haven't changed much in the last 200 years you're doing well! Very nice find!

 

[Craftbunny]

Nice one.Hey,I've been doing this for a year and I still haven't found one!.

 

[Marylanddetctr]

Took me 3 years to find one that wasn't broken

 

[Nepa-Will]

It's a beauty. Love when the clapper still rings
